Will Squeezebox Touch play iTunes from USB Drive?

The touch doesn't have the processing power to seek the data off a large drive. Probably better to use sd cards If you do not want to use your pc. (put some play lists on a sd card, probably 2 gig max. I haveonly put one cd on an an sd card and had no issues. A jump drive should do the same). A hard drive would need to use it's own power, as the touch does not have the auxiliary power to run the hard drive. The HD isn't a drop out issue, it's a data seek issue. Best use is off a pc. I run wireless, love it, sounds great, and I have never had a dropout.

FWIW, my prior SB3 had a signal strength of 60-70% max (though never had a drop out). The Touch is constantly at 100%. Perhaps they upgraded the wifi receiver in the touch. (the SB3 still used in another room and at 57% costant) Good luck with it, Sakahara. It has totally changed the way I listen to music. In random mode, I hear tracks I didn't even know I had. Now, that's fun. Finding jewels in your own collection.
